What the gurus are saying

The gurus who reviewed it praise it as an effective retinol option that delivers anti-aging benefits without harshness. What makes it stand out is that it uses retinaldehyde, which converts to retinoic acid in just one step, meaning it works more directly than standard retinol. Experts also note it's quite hydrating and includes calming ingredients, so those new to retinoids or with sensitive skin may find it gentler to start with than stronger formulations.

"I've been using Aveeno Retinol recently, which is a retinaldehyde. Retinaldehyde is more potent because it only requires one conversion step to become retinoic acid and then binds to the nuclear receptors."
